Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Tobacco Reports.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0004.
Summary of Collection: The authority for the mandatory collection
of information on Form TB-26, Tobacco Stocks Report, is Public Law 661,
commonly known as the Tobacco Statistics Act (7 U.S.C. 501-508) enacted
in 1929. The Act directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA), to
collect statistics on the quantities of leaf tobacco held by dealers
and manufacturers in the United States and Puerto Rico.
The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621-1627) directs
and authorizes USDA to collect, tabulate, and disseminate statistics on
marketing agricultural products including market supplies, storage
stocks, quantity, quality and condition of such products in various
positions in the marketing channel, utilization of sub-products,
shipment, and unloads.
Need and Use of the Information: The basic purpose of the
information collection is to ascertain the total supply of
unmanufactured tobacco available to domestic manufacturers and to
calculate the amount consumed in manufactured tobacco products. This
data is also used for the calculation of production quotas for
individual types of tobacco and for price support calculations. Without
the information, USDA would not be able to disseminate marketing
information as directed and authorized in the Act.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 44.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Quarterly; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 156.
